purpose the housing in the yoke.

tube 32 and engaging hinged near one corner on studs 13 so that it swings on the housing in a plane transverse the axis of rotation of the perforating wheel. This cap is placed in open and closed positions in an obvious manner.

In Fig. 1 the appliance is shown adapted as an attachment for a. pencil. For this 1 is provided with a tubular extension 15'which has on one side a slit 16. The extension 15 forms a socket to receive the end of the pencil 17 which forms a convenient extended handle for the perforating appliance.

In Fig. 2 the device is shown adapted as an attachment for a fountain pen. he tubular GXllGIlSiO11 15 has a. longitudinal slit and also a semi-oircumferential slit 18 at the top of the longitudinal slit. This permits ample spring action of the lower part of the socket to enable it to firmly and easily grasp the upper end of the cap 20'of a fountain pen. The SOCliQt lf) is provided with a tongue 21 having a cupped end 22. Thls tongue forms a spring clip by which the pen carrying the perforating appliance may be secured to the users pocket. By cupping the end 22 of the clip a bowl-shaped inner surface is formed for engagement with the fabric of the pocket to insure firm. attachment and at the same time prevent injury to the fabric.

A modification of the perforating and inking device is shown in Fig. 5. In this. form of the inven ion the housing 30 occupies a yoke-shaped member 31 in the upper end of which the perforating roll is mounted. The inking roll is revolubly mounted on a sleeve 32, the ends of which are secured The yoke is held in place in by a pin 33 passing through the sides of the lions ing. In this form of the device the pin is also extended to provide at 34: pivotal con nection for the cap 7 By removing the pin 33 the yoke 31 may he removed from the housing and the inking roll is then readily accessible for repair or replacement or another yoke carrying a new "inking roll and perforating wheelmay be easily and cheaply inserted and secured in position.

In Fig. 7 is shown a modified form of the marking and inking device in which an the housing -auxiliary inking device 40 is placed in the base of the housing adjacent to the inking roll 5. This auxiliary device may takethe form of a stationary inking pad in contact withthe roller. An aperture in the housing may be provided at 41 to apply ink to the pad. This pad constitutes a storage device holding a suitable amount of ink by which the inking roller is continually replenished. The auxiliary inking device may also take the form of a second roller revoluloly mounted in the housing in contact with inking roll 5. This auxiliary roller provides addithe other posit-ion 1. In a paper marking device, the combi-' nation of a handle, a housing open at one end, a perforating wheel revolubly mounted near the open end of the housing, and a protecting cap comprising side arms fixedly pivoted at the sides of the housing and a. center portion connecting the side arms, the cap being constructed and arranged so that when inclosed position the center portion protects the wheel and when in open 1305i." tion the center portion rests against a portion of the housing to provide a rigid fingerv support.
